Friday night of July 20, 2013, hundreds of asylum seekers in Nauru Island refugee camp who protested against slow process of refugee determination and hardening of asylum laws, were attacked by police. A number of protesters were injured by the "cleaver and steel pipes" blows of some of the islanders who had come to help the police. At least four of the injured were hospitalized and nearly 130 asylum-seekers have been detained. The Australian Government announced this week that from now on if would not accept any refugees, and asylum-seekers who reach Australian soil, would be moved to New Guinea and other Pacific islands. At the request of the Australian government, the Indonesian government has made obtaining visas harder for Iranians who are entering Indonesia. The Australian government has allegedly tasked the Immigration Department to evaluate the application of asylum-seekers according to the information of the Foreign Affairs Department. According to the Foreign Affairs Department , Iran is considered a safe country. This would lead to the rejection of asylum-seekers from Iran and their extradition to the Iranian regime. Considering Iran a safe country under the rule of the mullahs is tantamount to plundering human rights against the narrow interests of business and the economy. This is a regime that has the highest number of executions per capita, has hanged near 100 prisoners during the three weeks following sham elections, it is where the women and children aren’t safe either against cruel punishments and 20-year old youths are hanged in public for a theft of less than 35 Euros. Closing eyes on this dire situation, is a byproduct of disgraceful policy of appeasement that sacrifices universal moral and human values for commercial interests. The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other relevant organizations not to allow the asylum rights of Iranians, whom the clerical regime has forced them to leave their homes, to be trampled upon foe narrow economic interests.
